It is a study of matter, energy, forces, and motion. The coverage of course material will be more in depth and the pace will be faster than in Physics 1. Additional topics will include general wave motion, sound, and optics. Extensive laboratory activities are included in each unit of study. This is a laboratory science. Emphasis is placed on integrating mathematical skills into the science of physics. Prerequisites: Successful completion of Algebra 1 Honors, with a passing grade of 85% or teacher recommendation.
